Hands Together

Here is an interesting bumper sticker I saw the other day while driving on the highway with my family:

When you find time on your hands
put them together in prayer.

It made us think of several verses of scripture, including the following:

“Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints” (Ephesians 6:18).

“Pray without ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:17).

“Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving” (Colossians 4:2).

There are plenty of things to pray about! Needs concerning ourselves, our family members, other believers that we know, as well as the gospel and the salvation of the lost. If we run out of things to pray about we have become insensitive to our circumstances, and need to pray that the Lord will touch our hearts and awaken us to realities of life once again.
